I got bitten by some insect on my thigh on Tuesday, and it started to swell, so I went to a general physician who assured me there was nothing to worry about and gave me a tablet. But today, it's hurting again, and when I used a pin to check the area, a lot of blood suddenly came out. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Could you please advise?

You may have inadvertently drained an abscess or a hematoma that formed as a result of the insect bite, and while it may provide temporary relief, it's essential to consult the general physician again or visit an urgent care center to assess the wound, prevent infection, and receive proper treatment, such as antibiotics or further drainage, to promote healing and avoid complications.

I'm experiencing these hives every night, and it's really frustrating. My skin gets super itchy and bumpy, mainly around my hips, lower stomach, and the back of my hands. The weird thing is, they disappear by morning. I've had this issue for about 5-6 months now, and I don't seem to be allergic to anything. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

It sounds like you're experiencing chronic urticaria (hives), which can occur for various reasons, even without an obvious allergy. Stress, temperature changes, or other factors could be triggering it. I recommend avoiding known irritants, managing stress, and trying antihistamines for relief. If symptoms persist, please consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions or explore other treatment options.

I've been using Melacare cream for over a year now and I'm really worried because I want to stop using it. The problem is, I've lost my fairness and now my face is covered in acne. How can I get my clear skin back and safely stop using this cream?
